6 – 7:30 pm
Middlemarch addresses the most fundamental human questions: what do we need in a relationship? Is great ambition unfulfilled worth more than modest goals achieved? How much of life do we control and how much is a product of chance? In this panoramic masterpiece, Eliot proved herself unrivaled in her ability to delineate the relationship between the individual and society in all of its extraordinary complexity. Please read Book One for the first session.
